Next to the egg, this is probably the most perfect food...bananas, chocolate, nuts...frozen for a hot-weather cool-down treat!From Dinner's On Me!, which is a great place to get ideas for meals.via The Crafty Crow

I made it without a pattern. It's just rectangles sewn together with a yoke. I made the bias bits for the straps from the same fabric.

My mom gave me the fabric and the lace ruffle trim came from a bag of stuff I bought at a thrift shop some time ago.

The trim was in a bag full of the most wonderful finds. In addition to this lace were vintage buttons, rick rack, a bodkin and tons of other stuff. I think I paid about $4 for the whole bag. Some of the trim was from Wright's and had a price tag of 45 cents. Can you imagine?

By the way, my very talented sister made the art doll in this picture.

This is Betty.I made this softie from a very nice sweater that was too small for me and I could not bear to get rid of.The sweater, which I used for Betty's body, is a combination of cotton/poly/angora and is so soft. Betty's a tiny little thing, she is just barely 5" tall. Her scarf, cap and diaper are made of cotton fleece and are sewn on.
